The District 2 Election will be Decided on May 24, if there are no Democrat challengers General Information
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners, or BOC, is made up of five Commissioners: four district Commissioners who represent their districts plus one Chairman who represents the whole county. The BOC is in charge of most aspects of county government, except for schools. The BOC is in charge of zoning decisions which can affect the quality of life for Cobb residents.
Cobb County district commissioner is considered a part-time, paid position, unlike the Chairman position, which is full-time and pays considerably more.

New District 2 Map New District 2 Areas
Many NEW East Cobbers can vote in this election.
The area of Cobb Commission District 2 was changed by the state legislature as part of redistricting of Cobb County in 2014.
Many areas north of Roswell Road, which were formerly in District 3, are now in District 2. Commissioner JoAnn Birrell’s District 3 map changed too.
The District 2 area now includes most of the Pope High School area, as well as part of Lassiter High School. District 2 still covers the Walton and Wheeler High School areas in East Cobb.
Voters who live in the new boundaries of District 2 can vote for the District 2 Commissioner this year, even if they voted for the District 3 Commissioner in 2014. See the new map here.
The Isakson Living project is now a major campaign issue in the District 2 race, so it's important we all vote on May 24, 2016. Johnathan Page is challenging Bob Ott for his seat on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. A major backer of Jonathan Page criticizes Bob Ott's zoning decision on Isakson Living. In the April 14, 2016 Marietta Daily Journal, Jim Rhoden, a major supporter of Page, criticized Ott's decision to deny the Isakson Living zoning next to East Cobb Park, called "Tritt Walk" in the article. See the full article here &/or this recent blog post about his stance.
